This version won't work with BBC - You might want to download the LATEST upgrate to WMR 14.4 which records from bbc B-E-A-UTIFULLY!

The new version is up and running. Open Settings and click Updates in the current WMR (14.0) or download from

http://www.wmrecorderpro.com/install_wmrecorder.exe

If you already have 14.1, then don't worry about that - and please proceed to the below instructions.

You need to run WM Recorder with the Preview mode enable. Click OPTIONS / Flash RTMP download options and then Enable preview recording. Also make sure you have the High speed download checked in this pop-up.

There is more to the real time preview. Watch Applians marketing director' Leslie's demonstration of BBC 2 hour radio show recorded in about 4 minutes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udnAbZiBlMk ) and how you can use this real preview:



WMR is the only recorder that can do this.

The real time preview however has a drawback - in some cases it loads up the CPU (just as the Adobe Flash player). If you have a number of shows downloaded simultaneously at max connection speed (10 for example) it is better to disable the real time preview which could generate downloading errors in this case. These errors cannot be handled by the converter. If you have complains about conversion problems of FLV files recorded with WM Recorder, disable the real time preview.

Let me know how it goes! :-)

Same problem here (WM Recorder (WMR) ver.12.3)

Attempted captures at YouTube immediately prompt"

Downloading - CANCELED

Possible clue: URL displayed in WMR's URL box is significantly different from URL address displayed in Firefox (3.5.6)

Here's sample URL of Failed capture, as displayed in WMR's URL box:

http://v22.lscache1.c.youtube.com/generate_204?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor&fexp=906501%2C906002&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1264039200&key=yt1&signature=3F775F1AB9AB1552AEF963CA9DC39DBF372B3EF4.CA2B7F128C25340F0D38C28FC8F36916BA0079B5&factor=1.25&id=e9a8effe9ec13fa4

Here's what Firefox displays as URL address:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ajv_p7BP6Q

BTW - Entering shorter Firefox URL (above) in WMR box prompts "Invalid URL ..." or some such (Or WMR records an un-playable snippet of file)

Sometimes your browser stores these videos in your cache so it can pull them up faster when you go to watch them. Unfortunately when this happens it doesnt request the URL, and WM Recorder cannot record it.

Try clearing out your browser cache and see if that makes a difference

The URL in the address bar of your Firefox is the URL of the web-pages, not the URL of the video that is embedded into the page.

If you go to http://download-youtube-videos.org/ and enter

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ajv_p7BP6Q

you will get the following URLs for the videos:

Medium quality:

The URL I got when recording with WM Recorder 14:

(the video stream was successfully recorded in the ADA mode)

If you use a firewall, try to disable it temporarily and see if it helps.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have been clearing the cache and it seems to have helped. However still sometimes the download does not begin until it is cancelled and started again.
